25/11/14 Twenty Bucks (1993)

A film about a twenty dollar note. As it passes from one person to the next, through transactions, crime and being lost, it tells the story of the person currently holding it. Pretty lightweight stuff, but worth watching for the Steve Buscemi/Christopher Lloyd section in the middle. Steve Buscemi is an odd looking fellow.

The script was originally written in 1935, then shelved for nearly sixty years. Just as well, I imagine twenty dollars back then would have bought you, like, half of Canada. Small acting role from Gladys Knight, minus her Pips.
